The horns which at first incline outwards and forwards, and then bend somewhat upwards and inwards, are light coloured with black tips.
[5] Store cattle of the breed were favoured for grazing in Sussex and Kent, especially on the Pevensey Levels,[6] and many also went to the English Midlands.
The ancient breed was indigenous to the old Welsh counties of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and South Cardiganshire.
These cattle were locally regarded as hardier on the poor land than English dairy breeds such as the Shorthorn.
[2] By the end of the 19th century, some 25,000 black cattle from South Wales were being sold to England annually.
